Why this Package
Baobab silhouettes to crater lakes to kopje ridgelines—this 5-day safari tour takes you through the stunning landscapes of Tarangire, the iconic Ngorongoro Crater, and the vast expanses of the Central Serengeti, all while enjoying the comforts of a mid-range tented camp.
Your adventure begins in Tarangire National Park, where you can witness massive herds of elephants and the park's famous baobab trees. After a day of exploring, you’ll head to Thorntree Camp in the Central Serengeti, ideally located for optimal game viewing. This mid-range tented camp offers hearty meals and comfortable Meru tents with en-suite bathrooms, ensuring a cozy retreat after a day of wildlife encounters.
Next, you’ll travel to the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, where you’ll stay at Ang’ata Tented Camp. Positioned right on the crater rim, this camp provides immediate access to the crater floor, allowing you to be among the first to explore its rich wildlife, including the Big Five. The camp's rustic charm is complemented by hearty meals served in a communal setting, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
With a mix of adventure and comfort, this safari is perfect for both first-time visitors and seasoned travelers looking to deepen their experience. Enjoy the thrill of game drives, the beauty of Tanzania's landscapes, and the camaraderie of shared meals under the stars.

Mid-Range Tanzania Safari
Book with the Right Tour Operator
Each safari company has its own strengths — some specialize in luxury safaris, some in mid-range, and some in budget trips. Their expertise depends on years of experience in specific price categories, the quality of their guides and vehicles, and the lodge partnerships they’ve built over time. None of this is visible on websites or forums, which is why NMT connects you directly with the operators best suited to your safari tier.
